No I agree with that. Both sides broke agreements and one could argue that we brought civilization and yet one could say they were oppressed too.
there in lies the hypocrisy by mostly those on the left. Selective outrage.
We could go back to the Romans enslaving the Brits.
The fact is that we can all look to find oppression, but in the end people need to get over their offending tactics and stop going by the media frenzy. Tis battle over the battle flag was done 15 years ago and the left agreed and now they use the shooting and dead bodies to further their agenda.
Yes, I agree with your points.
